Sir: Replying to your favor of the 9th instant, concerning expense account of the Oklahoma National Guard during the recent riot at Tulsa, beg to say that your request that I issue a deficiency certificate to take care of this matter cannot be complied with for many reasons.

If I could issue a deficiency certificate, I could take care of the matter myself without calling on Tulsa to do anything. The trouble is that his indebtedness was incurred during the last fiscal year and at a time when there were no funds available for such purposes.

It is impossible to take care of this out of the funds for my present fiscal year and, even though it cold be done, it would hamper me exceedingly and lessen my ability to take care of emergencies, to that extent. You know I am limited as to the amount of deficiencies and I am not supposed to issue a deficiency certificate except for the present year's needs.
